Only the one with the trailing arms, the straight axle was never all wheel drive.

Now when I think about it, i'm not sure, never saw under an AWD civic, ne ways i'm thinking the CRV route is better since in the future you can just bolt up the CRV tranny with a B16 turbo. and then you can do the 5 lug conversion.

First you flip because you thought Evosol made a bad traction bar, and its not how you see it. and every time someone posts something that you dont agree with you just make useless posts and you judge people, well up untill now I thought you were a cool guy, but I dunno man.

The idea has been done before anyway, so its not like i'm asking the impossible.

If you are talking to me, I have an N/A D16, and I'm building an N/A D15.

Its just that I've seen this attempted, talked about, thought about, etc. about 19784864 times. The only one I've seen that worked cost about $17k to make it happen and it went slow. In the 1.5 years I've been at HMT I've seen this thread happen probably more then once a month. It is a dumb idea, hondas are not intended to be AWD, and even if you did convert using all oem parts, the honda AWD is a piece of ---- and will not yeild the results you are expecting. you are not going to have a honda version of a wrx or skyline or whatever you are fantasizing about. the honda AWD system is built so a CRV or Civic wagon can drive in the snow, not so it can rip up corners. Whatever, go ahead and put all that work and money into a car with 80/20 F/R torque bias ratio if you want to, but even if it doesn't break (which it is very likely to with those weak *** components) it will not be nearly as cool as you want it to be.

Exactly, it just an idea, its not like i'm under my car with a laptop and a welder making a post about how i'm converting to AWD.

I was just browsing through some pics on my computer and saw some of the AWD CRX that someone built, and thought it would be a good question to ask, and since 99% of you guys replied thinking it was a good idea then yeah I guess I made a good post.

Weather or not it was brought up before, well I dont know, its just recently I started coming on here alot and whoring up the place, think, I have been signed up here for 2 years and only have 600 posts or so, I didnt check how many times this issue was brought up.

I hate that perception, hondas ARE intended to be fast. maye not american hondas.

"Without racing, there is no Honda."
-Soichiro Honda

It is rediculous that people think hondas are ONLY intended to be grocery getters. Honda is the EPITOME of "sport compact car"

Ignorant isn't the right word. How about apethetic? or at least that was what I was intending. Hey 4thgen, don't think that I am trying to be a dick to you, it just happens that the first two topics we have had conversations about are two subjects that I get heated about pretty easily. I'm not singling you out, I would be just as much of an ------- to somebody else. BTW, if it is any conversation, I like your A-->W setup.
